Twitter-like Move By Facebook with new SportStream Acquisition

SportStream is now a part of Facebook, with their sports data expected to be used to show “real-time” information. If this seems a bit familiar it is, as giving users “real-time” data is a vital function of its competitor, Twitter.

What the home teams are up to in Hockey, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, and Basketball, are constantly talked about in Facebook conversations.

Interestingly, money matters deemed pertinent to this deal were not given out by the companies involved in this SportStream acquisition by Facebook.
